Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Charlcombe

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Charlcombe

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are there extra charges for Charlcombe?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Charlcombe

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Charlcombe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
